I might go play around on the polo bike here in a bit... I have to run to the grocery.
If I worked at a shop, I would convince them to have a demo model Pugsley around for just such occasions.

My commute kinda sucked this morning because my commuter has slicks, ended up walking part of the way.
This afternoon will be fun because I'll have knobbies on by then. |

| Snow is fun, but the slush sucks. Its my least favorite riding condition and since its a salt water slush its really hard on the bike. I rode my xtra this morning and saw two minor wrecks on the way in. Be careful out there. |

| I did! 4 degrees when I left this morning. I think I overdressed though, so I made the mistake of underdressing on the way home. I'm still trying to warm up. |
